Yup! There's actually an even better way to do it than what I did (I used Single Crochet, but the "proper" way is with the trickier Tunisian crochet.But this still looks awesome for pillows so who cares! )Thanks!

He is pretty awesome -- so awesome that he asked me to make him a Dark Bowser costume this year (which I really should be working on right now LOL).I just checked out your commission info and those prices are really good! I'll be keeping you in mind for future gift giving :]
